Donate

Thank You to everyone who donated towards this project! We are officially a Silversmith sponsor of Saskatoon MakerFaire 2018!

The additional funds donated will go towards getting new marketing materials such as brochures and business cards.

TechWorks needs your help!

(non-members are welcome to participate, but I’m not twisting your arms.)
As many of you know, Saskatoon is getting a Mini Maker Faire in May 2018. To be clear, this is not put on by TechWorks. However, they are soliciting corporate sponsorships. If we were able to sponsor the Maker Faire at a “Silver” level, we can get our name and logo on their website, in their social media promotion, on digital signage at the event, and (more importantly, in my opinion) on their printed material such as posters and the program. I think this is an amazing opportunity to get our name out there to exactly our demographic.

“What’s in it for me?” More members. When we sign up more members, we have more cash available to maintain equipment, purchase new equipment, and, potentially, to expand at some point in the future. People that don’t know about us don’t sign up as members. And, let’s face it, we haven’t been particularly good at marketing ourselves… so let’s tag along with a pro. (The Maker Faire team includes a veteran of large event planning.)

So, the arm twisting… A silver sponsorship will cost us $1000. If 10 of us can spare $100, or 20 of us $50, it’s done. As a bonus, it appears we will get enough admission tickets with the sponsorship that we can provide you with a complimentary admission with your $50 or more donation towards this.

I have already put in my $100. I have 5 other pledges, but I want to count cash, not promises.

Oh… one catch. To get our logo on the “Call For Makers” poster, we need to work FAST. All of their timelines depend on Make approving their plans, but it seems like the posters will be made in early January. I would like for us to push hard and raise the needed funds by the end of December. (Yeah, that’s fast, I know.)
